Sledd Run spans 2 census tracts of Mechanicsville, VA and houses 8,949 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 29.6% citywide, putting Sledd Run 17.2% over its own city.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.8 to 5.4, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,492, 13% below the Mechanicsville average of $1,724. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Mechanicsville.
For a like-for-like read, Hanover Grove and Sharon Park score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $86,436.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
